SpaceForge

SpaceForge is a texture effect for minimal and hypnotic techno and ambient: huge, living rooms, echoes and granular texture. The aim is long, soft, dark and flowing tails. It comes as a CLAP and a VST3 plug-in. Free and open source.

It combines two open-source engines:

• Rooms and echoes: an algorithmic reverb with modulated delay lines.
• Granular texture: the grains take from the tail of the room and feed part of it back, so the cloud keeps itself alive.

Controls

• Mode: the character of the room: Sky, Hall, Plate, Shimmer, Smear, Spectral or Room.
• Space: from tight and short to huge and endless (decay and stereo width).
• Reflect: from nothing to many repeats that melt into the room (ping-pong, dotted 1/8).
• Motion: from still to living: modulation, grain activity and a tempo-synced auto-pan.
• Tone: dark to bright, without changing the loudness.
• Mix: dry/wet.
• Echo: sharp, countable stereo echoes in time with the host tempo. Click the text to choose the note value.
• Duck: pulls the wet signal down while you play, up to 12 dB.

Every knob shows its value in real units, and your DAW shows the same texts. A preset stores only the values of the visible controls.

Free reverb and echo for Linux and Windows

SpaceForge is a free, open source reverb and echo plug-in in CLAP and VST3 format for Linux and Windows. Use it for long, dark reverb tails, tempo-synced echoes and granular texture on pads, drums and ambient sounds in any host that loads CLAP or VST3 plug-ins.

Note

SpaceForge is developed in spare time and shared as it is. It runs on Linux and Windows.
